Sandra Bullock Warns Meryl Streep: "I'm Gonna Take You Down"

Both Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep received the award for Best Actress at the recent Critics Choice Awards. They even shared a kiss to celebrate the winning.


Determined to rise up to Meryl Streep's level, 45-year-old Sandra Bullock says:

"With Meryl, when this whole thing started, I left her a voice mail going, 'You've got to watch your back. I'm gonna cut you. I'm gonna take you down. And then she sent me dead orchids and told me to die, so I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash."

Apparently, Sandra Bullock's revelation to the Associated Press was just one of the elaborate cat-fights that she's been staging with Meryl Streep since the award season started.

The two just vowed Golden Globe Awards for their latest film projects. Sandra Bullock's performance in The Blind Side has been favored by award-giving bodies. Albeit widely regarded as one of the most talented and respected movie actors of the modern era, Meryl Streep has not won an Oscar's award for best actress since the 1980s film Sophie's Choice.

Now that they're both eyeing the best actress award at the Oscar's, lots of bitchiness may follow, all in good fun.

James Cameron's Avatar Wins Big At The Golden Globe Awards

Twelve years after winning the "Best Motion Picture - Drama" and "Best Director in Motion Picture" awards for Titanic, filmmaker James Cameron received the same honors at the 67th Golden Globe Awards for his sci-fi film "Avatar," raising prospects for another domination at this year's Academy Awards.

James Cameron received the awards with a lecture on the message that he wants his new film to be remembered:

"Avatar' asks us to see that everything is connected, all human beings to each other, and us to the Earth. And if you have to go four and a half light years to another, made-up planet to appreciate this miracle of the world that we have right here, well, you know what, that's the wonder of cinema right there, that's the magic."

Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock won the award for the best dramatic female actor while veteran Jeff Bridges received the best dramatic male actor honor. The crowd gave Bridges a standing ovation as a tribute to the beloved actor generally overlooked by major Hollywood honors.

Meryl Streep received the acting honor for best actress in a musical or comedy. With numerous honors that the 60-year-old actress has won over the years, she gladly shared:

"I just want to say that in my long career, I've played so many extraordinary woman that I'm getting mistaken for one. I'm very clear that I'm the vessel for other people's stories and other people's lives."

Robert Downey Jr. from his crime romp "Sherlock Holmes" won the award for best actor in a musical or comedy.

Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz received the supporting-performances award. Mo'Nique was recognized for lowbrow comedy but startled audiences with her impressive performance in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire," playing an abusive welfare mother. Waltz, on the other hand, is a veteran actor in Austria but a relative newcomer in Hollywood. He played the bloodthirsty Nazi in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds."

Despite the glamorous occasion, the annual Golden Globe Awards did not forget to support the earthquake victims in Haiti as many stars came wearing ribbons.

A Censorship Investigation For Golden Globe Winners?

Looks like the 2009 Golden Globe Awards will be a lot controversial than the previous years. This time, it's not because of some stars who came to the Hilton Hotel in their fabulous or awful frocks – it's the vulgar speeches of some respected people in Hollywood, which have sparked a censorship investigation.


After the NBC telecast of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards last Sunday night, 18 complaints have been received by the Federal Communications Commission. This has prompted FCC to launch a censorship investigation against the offensive remarks and gestures being witnessed on the awarding ceremony.

Reports also had it that top actors Colin Farrell, Seth Rogen, and film director Darren Aronofsky were among the stars who sparked the censorship investigation. Colin Farell and Seth Rogen made jokes about cocaine while Darren Aronofsky gave the dirty-finger gesture to actor Mickey Rourke.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the FCC "is reviewing the program for possible violations of indecency rules... after receiving multiple complaints."

Impromptu speeches of Hollywood stars during awarding nights are always admirable. Unmasked from the many characters they portray on screen, the wit they show on stage (or on their seats) simply manifest their raw talent to entertain. Worthy of censorship investigation or not, one thing's for sure: without the jokes and/or “indecencies” during awarding nights, it would surely be boring.
